I've only been to one other trial, and I wasn't paying all that much attention. This weekend I spent 16 hours watching the dogs... it was a couple of long days, but it was a lot of fun.

I'm definitely going to get back into agility with Ruby and Riggs. The beginner level titles are hard, but certainly attainable with some work. Ruby could probably get them now except for the weave poles. Riggs is nowhere near ready, but "gets" weave poles so would likely take less work.

It was really exciting to watch, I saw some great dogs and fantastic handling. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.

CPE that's the one I'm doing . .. though nothing to do with the weaves . . . mostly because it's far more common in my area AND I can compete with Teeny (since she isn't spayed and AKC nor UKC know what an Alapaha is, she can't compete).
